Government Meeting
Wow, it has been a whole week since I wrote last. To be honest, it was a pretty non-productive week. Senior year hasn't been a walk in the park like people say it is. But anyways. I am writing about the government meeting I went to. This started out as a requirement for my Government class but then I saw the opportunity to include my WISE project as well. I attended the Planning and Development meeting, at 6:00, at City Hall. Walking in, I was surprised. I thought it was going to be a very formal meeting but the board members kind of walked in casually with jeans and hoodies. There were Architects, along with Engineers all in their suits and ties ready to announce their projects. As the meeting went along, I wanted to just tap someone on the shoulder and just blab about my awesome WISE class and project, but I felt it just wasn't the time or place. This being my first time going to a government meeting, I was a little out of my comfort zone, which is what WISE is about, exploring new things, but I wasn't quite ready to make that leap and talk to someone.
In the end, I thought it was an awesome experience and plan on attending the next meeting, April 22nd. Maybe I will engage in a conversation then.
